Hi Y'allzes!
Just got back from a super quick get-a-way to visit my Brother and his wonderful girlfriend, Karen in San Francisco. Here they are, aren't they cute? ;)
I can't say
Thank You enough to both of them! They hosted my Mom and I for 4 days of jam-packed sightseeing, amazing wineries, restaurants, 2 of the best Flea Markets ever (Petaluma and Treasure Island) and of course lots of shopping! On my last day there, they took me to see Big Daddy's Antiques. A place that had reached mythological proportions in my head after I had read and seen a few pics of it, and let me tell ya' it did NOT disappoint. It's a huge warehouse in the design district, jam packed with large scale artifacts, European antiques, statuary's, leather and linen upholstered furniture, etc.

Karen and I at the entryway (look at the size of that door!)

 |
| How about a Giant Ship in..oh, I don't know, your living or family room? |
 |
| Loved this stone Mantel and all the charcoal grey chairs! |
 |
| This is what greets you once inside-GORGEOUS. My pics don't do it justice. |
 |
| Farmhouse style coffee tables, stacked, vintage leather chair, huge movie reel and that ship. |
 |
| Doves coo as you shop! |
 |
| My adorable Mom and Karen. I'm told this is a 'cupola'- I just want it in my living room :) |
|

We also visited a couple Flea Markets and it took all the will power in me not to buy and ship home so many things. Unbelievable stuff, and we did do some
minor damage ;) But nothing a borrowed suitcase couldn't hold!
 |
| Petaluma Antique/Flea Market |
 |
| Treasure Island Flea Market-this sculpture greets you at the entry. Originally built for 'Burning Man' back in May, and it is filled with LED lights. So cool!! |
|
|
Then we of course had to sample some of the finest wines California has to offer, and 'sample' we did!!
 |
| Me, Mom, and Braden |
 |
| Nooo, we didn't drink all that! |
 |
| Me and my date, Braden and Karen |

We also got to dip our feet in at Point Reyes, such a beautiful drive. I have truly missed the ocean being here in Northern Texas...

| My Mom, Bro and Karen |

| Mom in her element :) |
